Sangiovese The winter was very harsh, with eleven days below freezing recorded between January and February. At the end of March, an increase in temperatures led to early budding of the vines. On the night between April 7 and 8, a late frost slowed down the initial phase of the vegetative cycle and reduced the number of buds opening. The growing season then continued with extreme drought, with a very dry summer and moderately high temperatures, but without excessive heat peaks. The grapes ripened with balanced phenolic components and evident depth, characteristics that guarantee longevity for the 2021 vintage wines. The grapes, hand-harvested and carefully selected, are gently pressed and transferred into wooden vats for fermentation. Maceration: 23 days on the skins Aging 36 months in 25 hl Tronçais and Bercé oak barrels (Grenier and Pauscha). At least 6 months in bottle.
